What each ingredient does

Venison neck or trimmings
Supplies the meaty flavour and, from its connective tissue, body to the broth as it simmers.

The step that matters

Remove all fat from the surface. Fat floats on the broth and makes it greasy. Letting it cool allows the fat to solidify on top, so it can be lifted off cleanly.
